If there is any more proof that Apple is lagging behind on it's
novelty machines, just look at the Mini and the iMac. All models have 8x
DVD-R/RW drives. Why don't they have 16x, 18x or even 20x DVD-R/RWs on
their
mainstream computers. Dell and HP have computers that are cheaper that
come
with faster drives. I'll tell you the reason, when you make a proprietary
novelty machine, it's hard to upgrade to the next drive. Right now I can
put
a Blue-Ray player on a Dell or HP computer, do that with Apple's
mainstream
computers. To get a Blue-Ray player inside a Mini or iMac, you have to
wait
until Apple designs a new one, if they don't plan to drop the turkey that
is. Your only choice is to buy a USB drive and that means more desk
clutter
which negates the main selling point of the Mini and iMac. The only Mac
that
has a newer DVD-R/RW is the Mac Pro and who is dumb enough to buy a $2500
machine just to get a better optical drive? For those who don't know, the
reason the Mac Pro has a drive is because it has a big case where you can
install an off the shelf drive in it easily.

Would be nice if a third party offered a BluRay upgrade....oh wait....

Yea and you'll void your warranty if you install it on a iMac or Mini.
